[Bug 41355] Re: s3switch segfaults on the thinkpad [patch]

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hans-Jürgen, your work in this area is very welcome.  Just be prepared
to encounter some hesitations because this is old soft- and hardware.  I
am absolutely with you in trying to maintain support for older hardware.
Feel free to contact me anytime if you get stuck with the packaging and
I'll see if I have any suggestions how to move onwards.  Seeing you are
a programmer yourself, here's what I suggest:

* consider taking over the upstream source, you're not getting this back into Debian without an active upstream
* talk to Tormod about getting this into the xserver-xorg-video-savage package in Debian
* make the upstream source for the xserver-xorg-video-savage package the new upstream home

Thank you for your work.  There'll be more before you'll actually reach
your goal of reviving this but with some persistence I think you have
what it takes to get there. Regards, Rolf
